Oakland County Circuit Court; Docket No. 75-122211-N; Unpublished
Judge Francis X. O'Brien; Written Opinion
Official Michigan Reporter Citation: Not Applicable; Link to Opinion
STATUTORY INDEXING:
Not Applicable
TOPICAL INDEXING:
Workers Disability Compensation Act (MCL 418.1, et seq.)
CASE SUMMARY:
Judge O'Brien held that a workers' compensation carrier did not have a right to intervene in any post no-fault auto accident case. His reasoning was based upon the fact that under the no-fault statute, the plaintiff could not sue for medical expenses and wage loss and, therefore, a workers' compensation carrier could not be permitted to intervene to obtain reimbursement for those types of benefits.
